* Leighton Flowers Discusses Ken Wilson and James White: Bob Enyart welcomes Dr. Flowers, founder of Soteriology 101, back onto the program to discuss James White's attack on Ph.D. Ken Wilson. Dr. Wilson's thesis powerfully rebutted the old reformed claim that they have recovered the early Calvin-like teachings of the church. Leading church historians, even from the reformed tradition, agree with Ken Wilson's Oxford thesis that these ideas were introduced by Augustine in the fifth century. By the way, Bob Enyart debated James White on whether God can think new thoughts (reformed and many other theologians answer, no) and whether the future is settled or open (and they answer, settled). So we're not neutral.
* Bob's James White Prediction: Bob predicts that James White will never again initiate any argument to the effect that first century Christians taught the Calvinist version of "free" will. Bob has also called on White to apologize to Ken Wilson and retract his relevant video (which is excerpted by Soteriology 101; see below). Sadly though, Bob does not expect White to do either, nor to retract any of the false arguments he has used against Dr. Wilson.
